2009-04-30 - born of the spirit
Everywhere there's signs
read between the lines
some can't see the forest for the trees
but that which is born of the Spirit is like the breeze
and you feel it brush by and you hear it
the sound as it blows
but you don't know where it goes
so it is and ever shall be
as it was in the beginning with He
who created the firmament
the unseen is permanent
the things that are seen will dissolve
but the spirit-borne child will evolve
raised to new life
returns love for strife
rises with wings of the dawn
streaming from heaven
not of this leaven
can't stop this trip that I'm on
look into the mirror
death is drawing nearer
you don't have a promise of tomorrow
we're come into this earth
the door was our first birth
these bodies are just vessels that we borrow
birth to earth
dust to bust
sperm to worm
but what about us?
where do we go when we die
pass away to the sweet by and by
cease to exist with no eternity
or do we appear without attorney fee
standing before a Judge and jury
accusing us with righteous fury
for every crime against the law
written in stone and revealed to all
have you ever told a lie
lusted (adultery) with the eye
taken the name of the Lord in vain
hated someone - it's all the same
you've broken these laws and the payment is death
and you will give and answer for every breath
there is no escape and no alternate route
you can't be aquitted and there's no bailing out
unless you are born again
by the gift that is given all men
the Son of God came to the earth
to show us the way to new birth
the regeneration of spirit
the wind as it blows draws you near it
